Comics.   Posted 4 June, 1992.  All zines reviewed by Jerod Pore.

information as long as others may also freely copy and distribute it.

These are comix and comics.  What's the difference?  Ask your spell
checker.  Generally comix require an age statement as they have naughty
words or pictures.  Comics are merely violent or inanely stupid.  Very
easy to categorize:  those that *might* be worth wasting your money
(mostly comix); and those that are definitely *not* worth wasting your
money (mostly comics).  From now on, please send your comics, comix,
comic fandom or comic market zines to either of these fine masochists:

Randy Hoppe
PO Box M1382
Hoboken NJ   07030

or

Incredibly detailed analysis of single episodes of regular anime along
with series synopsis.  "Yawara! (a fashionable judo girl)  Episode 14:
Yawara's Date is full of Surveilance."  What is it with all these one-
eyed guys in positions of rebel authority?  Each issue has a translated
comic, the reading of which could be confusing as the panels flow right-
to-left.  Karmic vengence on Poppin' Zits! perhaps?  This time (as in
number 15) the comic is Twinkle^2 Idol Stars.  Unfortunately, the shitty
dot-matrix printing makes for uneasy reading.
